Loosing your moko

[Federico Lorenzi]

Lets not forget, you should be able to download the server software too, and run it on your own server :)

/me points to the GPS location sharing project and thinks it could suite the task with authentication.

Cheers,
Federico

 Ex. Measure the distance between two FreeRunners, so you can find a
friend in a party :) (In the centralised server at openmoko.org you can
set who can see you location).
